Intraday Trading with Price Action — Complete Guide
Master intraday Price Action trading. Learn session-based setups, kill zone entries, daily bias determination, and intraday trade management.
What is Intraday Trading?
Intraday trading means opening and closing all positions within the same trading day. Using Price Action on M15-H1, intraday traders focus on high-volume sessions (kill zones) for 30-100 pip moves.
Intraday Edge
Intraday trading eliminates overnight risk and provides daily income potential. Combined with session analysis and higher-timeframe bias, it offers repeatable daily opportunities.
Kill Zones
| Kill Zone | Time (EST) | Character |
|---|---|---|
| London Open | 2:00-5:00 AM | Trend initiation |
| NY Open | 7:00-10:00 AM | Continuation/reversal |
| London Close | 10:00-12:00 PM | Profit-taking |
Daily Bias Determination
1. D1 candle direction (bullish/bearish)
2. H4 structure (HH/HL or LH/LL)
3. Price position relative to D1 levels
4. Previous session behavior
Bias = most likely direction for today
Only trade aligned with this bias.
Intraday Entry Methods
Session High/Low Sweep:
- Identify previous session range (Asian H/L)
- Wait for new session to sweep one side
- Enter on reversal after sweep

Bias + Order Block:
- Determine daily bias
